Transforming Comfort in Verdun with Precision and Innovation
In the scenic borough of Verdun, Montreal, where the rhythm of urban life meets quiet residential streets, AirGreen has recently accomplished a feat of engineering and customer satisfaction with the installation of a Gree Vita wall-mounted air conditioner. This project not only underscores our commitment to innovative solutions but also highlights our dedication to meeting our clients' specific needs with a blend of aesthetics, functionality, and sheer technical prowess.
Project Overview: A Custom Challenge Met with Expertise
The essence of this installation lay not just in the deployment of a top-tier air conditioning unit but in the meticulous planning and execution required to meet the unique demands of our customer. Nestled in the heart of their apartment, the client desired the Gree Vita unit to be perfectly centered—not a straightforward task considering the structural challenges of the building.
Technical Specs and Aesthetic Integration
The Gree Vita, renowned for its sleek design and powerful performance, features specifications that make it an ideal choice for modern living spaces. With a cooling capacity of 9,000 BTU and operational noise levels as low as 26 dB, the unit promises and delivers tranquility and comfort. Its 19.5 SEER efficiency rating further ensures that comfort does not come at the expense of high energy costs, although it's not Energy Star® certified.
The real challenge, however, was installing the unit in the desired location without compromising the architectural integrity of the apartment. The walls and ceiling became conduits for the smart routing of pipes and electrical wiring, seamlessly connecting the interior unit to the external compressor. All operational elements, including a highly efficient, whisper-quiet drain pump, were cleverly concealed, preserving the room’s aesthetic while enhancing functionality.
Smart Features for Enhanced Control
The Gree Vita is equipped with WiFi capabilities, allowing our customer to adjust settings remotely via the Gree+ app—an invaluable feature for tech-savvy users looking for ease and accessibility. The integration of G10 Inverter Technology not only optimizes energy consumption but also ensures that temperature control is both precise and stable, enhancing overall comfort.
Client-Centric Installation: Beyond the Basics
AirGreen's approach goes beyond mere installation. Our focus was to ensure that every aspect of the installation process was tailored to not only meet but exceed the client's expectations. From the strategic placement of the unit to the selection of a drain pump that maintains the tranquility of the home environment, every detail was considered and addressed with utmost care.
Invisible Yet Impactful: The Art of Concealing Infrastructure
Perhaps the most notable aspect of this installation was our ability to render the operational infrastructure virtually invisible. By embedding the necessary wiring and piping within the walls and ceilings, we ensured that our client would not have to undertake any additional finishing work post-installation. This not only saved them time and expense but also preserved the original interior decor.

The job tools
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.
How the job unfolds
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What we check on a job like this one
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
The right pages, at the right time
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
